2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I don't know oubt about cradle bolts but can't you source them "locally". 

When looking for things like this I normally have to get creative, resourceful or both.  Years ago I managed to locate a supply of Moog offset cam bolts in Belgium and managed to source all the other suspension bolts I required on the UK.

Mayhaps this isn't possible for cradle bolts?

Some bolts are available locally.  Haven't tried cradle bolts, but often the bolts available locally aren't exact.  By the time you fix the bolts, it would almost be easier to make them.  Either way, it's less expensive to buy the correct bolts.

To get to the price from TFS, I would have to make hundreds of them.  Probably a full bundle of rods.    TFS' bolts are probably stamped or cast or something.

The Fiero Store bolts are parts bin bolts.  Someone on PFF said they had gotten replacement bolts at hardware stores and Tractor Supply or other farm equipment stores.  I've generally had good results at Tractor Supply.  Of course, that store isn't available to Allen. 

The OEM front cradle bolts have a tapered tip on them.  I assume that's to help them pass through when things aren't perfectly aligned during reinstallation.

A quick search shows them as M12 1.75x100 grade 10.9

Loike dis  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293835283572?hash=item4469f29c74:g:v34AAOSwTwRfsehD

Should be same on aus eBay?

Fierostore looks like there are diff style bolts fore and aft? A good price for complete kit https://www.fierostore.com/Product/Detail.aspx?s=57519%20%20%20%20%20FTRR&d=320&p=1 but thats before all the other charges.
